Abstract:A key lesson learned with COVID-19 is that public health measures were very different from country to country. In this study, we provide an analysis of epidemic dynamics using three well-known stochastic network models—small-world networks (Watts–Strogatz), random networks (Erdös–Rényi), and scale-free networks (Barabási–Albert)—to assess the impact of different viral strains, lockdown strategies, and vaccination campaigns. We highlight the significant role of highly connected nodes in the spread of infections… Show more
